The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games organising committee have announced the final list of sports and venues for the Games. The major change compared to Gold Coast 2018 is that Beach Volleyball, Shooting and 5x5 Basketball have been dropped and replaced by Judo, Basketball 3x3 and Wheelchair Basketball
 
These are the sports:
Aquatics - Diving, Swimming (Para) Athletics (Para) Badminton Basketball 3x3 Boxing Cycling - Track (Para), Mountain Bike, Road Field Hockey Gymnastics - Artisitc, Rhythmic Judo Lawn Bowls Netball Rugby Sevens Squash Table Tennis Triathlon (Para) Weightlifting (Powerlifting) Wheelchair Basketball 3x3 Wrestling The venues for the games will be spread within Birmingham and the West Midlands region, with only 1 venue (London Olympic Velodrome) falling outside of the West Midlands.
The Birmingham city centre venues include the National Exhibition Centre and attached Genting Arena, Birmingham Arena, Symphony Hall and Victoria Square. Other Birmingham venues include University of Birmingham, Alexander Stadium, Villa Park Stadium. The West Midlands venues include the planned Sandwell Aquatics Centre, Coventry Arena, Royal Leamington Spa Bowls Club, Sutton Coldfield Park, Cannock Chase. I'm impressed by this plan, mainly as only 1 venue (Sandwell Aquatics Centre) will have to be newly built and other venues will be upgraded at the University and Alexander stadium which will become a stadium worthy of being the home of British Athletics. It's a shame Shooting was unable to make the program, the National Shooting Centre is in Surrey and had been proposed but it is a few hours drive away, but since it is only an optional sport the Gommonwealth Games Federation surely saw it's exclusion coming!

Lots of middle distance medals decided in the Cross Country this morning, here's a summary:
 
Kenya (3 gold, 1 silver)
Ethiopia (1 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze)
Uganda (1 gold, 1 bronze)
Burundi (1 gold)
Australia (1 silver)
France (1 silver)
Morocco (1 silver)
Eritrea (1 bronze)
Sri Lanka (1 bronze)

There will be 14 Badminton events at the 2020 Paralympics, all they did here was just add some extra doubles events and split some combined classifications. But I agree with you about the number of athletics and swimming events, they shoud reduce the number of events per classification. For example the S3 classification doesn't need a 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle event on the program, just 2 would be sufficient.

They were but the IOC scrapped the planned year change last year, hence why the next Summer Youth Olympics will be held in 2022, not 2023 as originally planned.

Our NOC is doing the same (our mixed NOC equestrian medal is our only medal so far!) But whilst the athlete wins a medal it is not officially attributed to any specific NOC so it is very cheeky for NOCs to claim them.

Wow!! And in a time that would have put him 4th at the 2016 Paralympics! 

Interesting video about Dakar 2022, seems like most the venues are already under construction or completed

I am revoking my comment from a few days ago which stated this was the best results website of the year. 

Each nation has entered a man and woman, their position points will be added together to determine the winning overall team. Can't really see the point of it as they are conducting it as 2 separate events but there you go.

Day one and we already have this kind of joy  
 
That difference in the W45 powerlifting btw

No, I don't believe in God and I don't like the Queen. So it's a 0/2 from me

The multi-sport video games section will now be changed to Totallympics TV where it will focus primarily on multi-sport games, but will now post world championships, world cups, and Olympic qualification events for all sports. More info to come soon.
 
Also if anyone could make a logo for it, or can come up with a better name it would be much appreciated

That was quick, it's done
